Grooming pubic hair linked to Sexually Transmitted Disease
Quote:
Women and men who regularly trim or remove all their pubic hair run a greater risk of sexually transmitted infections," BBC News reports. A survey of around 7,500 Americans, aged between 18 and 65 years, found "groomers" had a higher rate of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as herpes.
However, this doesn't necessarily mean that grooming pubic hair directly increases risk of STIs. The main limitation is that this study can't prove cause and effect. It could be the case that some people decided to remove their pubic hair after catching a STI.
And while the researchers took into account the number of lifetime sexual partners as a surrogate marker of sexual behaviour, they failed to assess the safe sex practices of participants. So any findings observed here are really only links to be assessed in further research.

The study speculates that grooming could lead to small cuts in the skin (microtears) which could make a person more vulnerable to catching certain types of STIs that can be spread via skin-to-skin contact, such as the human papilloma virus (HPV).
A study we discussed back in the summer found many women shaved their pubic hair as they mistakenly thought this was more hygienic. While you may choose to get rid of your pubic hair for cosmetic reasons, there is no evidence that doing so is good for your health.
I think this just indicates that ppl who groom a lot tend to have more sex (obviously..most ppl groom themselves for their partners or one night stands etc..)..and those who have more sex tend to havea higher risk of catching an STD
I got hair down there right after I turned 11. I've only completely shaved it all off once, and after cutting myself several times in the process I didn't do it again. I still trim my pubic hair and shave the rest of the parts. Women don't like a lot of hair down there either, just like very few men are attracted to women with a hairy bush. To each his/her own though. Oh, and for the record, I DON'T have HPV!
i shave my anus and I am positive for rectal chlamydia literally every time i get STD tests. also i think those who shave are more likely to be BB *****s ( i only use condoms if guys are ugly, but i usually let that slide too)
